Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the biochemical effects and histopathological alterations of the ethanolic extracts of G. mangostana pericarps (GME) on STZ-induced diabetic rats. Methods: Oral administration of GME at doses of 50, 100 and 200mg/kg b.w. were given to STZ-induced diabetic and normoglycaemic albino rats. The serum biochemica

A preliminary review of the literature had indicated a growing concern over various issues concerning the application of the Bills of Quantities (BQ). Though eminent, these issues, however, have sparsely been highlighted on a fragmentary basis, thus requires a systematic restructuring to manifest its underlying meaning. Following this review, a stu

The present study focused on the paramount importance of early identification and intervention of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) among young children. The focus of the study is on children with autism and their typical characters which are identified by adults. The study investigates the occurrence of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) among young ch

Objective: To explore the role of a community-based intervention in reducing delays in accessing emergency obstetric care (EmOC) in rural Bangladesh, and the factors associated with delayed decision making, reaching the health facility and receiving treatment. Study design: Quasi-experimental study. Methods: Multistage random sampling was used to s

A new photonics biosensor configuration comprising a Double-side Ring Add-drop Filter microring resonator (DR-ADF) made from SiO2-TiO2 material is proposed for the detection of Salmonella bacteria (SB) in blood. The scattering matrix method using inductive calculation is used to determine the output signal’s intensities in the blood with and with

Increasing material removal rate (MRR) and minimizing recast layer hardness are critical issues in machining non-conductive ceramic using micro-electro discharge machining(micro-EDM). This paper presents the analysis of MRR and recast layer hardness of zirconium oxide (ZrO2) due to micro-EDM using EDM-3 dielectric fluid and tungsten tool electrodes

Radio wave propagation plays a very important part in the design and eventually dictates performance of space communication systems. Over time, the requirements of satellite communication have grown extensively where higher capacity communications systems are needed. Escalating demands of microwave and millimetre wave communications are causing fre

Islamic manuscripts constitute a repository of enormous cultural and intellectual value and number in the millions. Yet currently there are no educational programs which focus on their specific conservation issues. Conservators of Islamic manuscripts currently face significant obstacles in order to get proper training. For many would-be conservator

This book on C programming language is a comprehensive tutorial and reference to C based on the ANSI C standard for beginners. The C language is demonstrated with numerous examples and extensive exercises that guide readers through each concept. Step-by-step of program code reveal the underlying logic of the programs and include in-depth implementa

Play is regarded as the appropriate and agreed approach in enhancing children’s learning development. However, there has been surprisingly little research on the ways in which educators actually understand and facilitate play. This study investigates the experiences and practices of four (4) Pusat Anak Permata Negara (PAPN) educators regarding pl
